New ball in play...give it to the catcher or not?

[shickenbottom]

Depends upon the level of ball.

College - Give it to the Catcher - On deck will get the ball.

High School V & JV - Usually throw tor F1 because catcher is shagging the ball. I know, on deck should be getting it, but their asleep most of the time.

Lower Levels, - throw to F1 cause F2 is chasing the ball 99% of the time. You can't stop this cause they've learned from lax umps who only get 2 balls per game and they hold these like gold.

Men's - Throw it back to F1 - I can throw better than these folks even on a bad day. Maybe they might eve learn to throw my "Specific Gravity" ball. Where the ball floats out there, then the "Specific Gravity" takes hold and the ball falls into a black hole.
